Lisa is cleaning the toilet. They had to get in there, that she DOES have a cleaning lady, she’s just NOT up to Lisa’s standards. She’s living with three boys. Their piss gets everywhere ! Unless the woman scrubs the seat and around the potty like 10 times a day, there WILL always be piss!
Whatever Lisa Barlow. Tell the boys to pee sitting down. Or at least John. Heard it’s better for your prostate, as you age. Maybe she can “google it.”
Heather awards her employee/partner with an Audi SUV ?? – jeez where did I go wrong ??? It even has a pink bow !! Can I at least have the bow ??
Jennie arrives to her husband’s office in a Porshe possibly?? I’m very girl and bad with make/model of cars, to me this car is lime green. which would have matched her outfit and drink in lasts episode. -again where did I go wrong ?
So the drop -ins are to make sure there’s no ‘sister wife’ lurking around? I kind of think that she’s serious.
Little Karlyn won a ribbon – nice… They chat a little about the failed Pho lunch that turned into a bunch of toddlers having tantrums. Very RHONY. Except they were all sober.
Lisa and Meredith meet for lunch – I will be doing a “Hot or Not” for these two looks. I’m still deciding on Mary’s.
Meredith – I love high heels too (especially since I’m 5’1”) but she seems to be walking around in stilts constantly. You couldn’t really see her shoes in this navy pantsuit thing she was wearing, but you could tell by how tall she was, and the way she was walking, that they are very very high.
They sure do get decked out for lunch. They always seem to be going to Italian restaurants too. Are they extremely popular in SLC ? Or maybe they all just like Italian food. I wonder if production picks these places they meet and dine at ?
They basically gossip about Jennie and Lisa, and use the dreaded “triggered” excuse.
‘Little’ Jack is going to prom … he looks so grown up !! what I love about his kid is that he’s so tall and acts mature, but still has this cute little baby face. His face literally looks like he’s ten. ( and I don’t mean this in a bad way.) Of course a professional photographer for prom pix ?? I hope there is a date involved here and he’s not going with Lisa, or worse yet, stag. I think that is a thing now, where kids are going to the prom in a group of friends. I guess that wouldn’t be the worst thing. Would sort of take the pressure off.
Lisa is being really weird and fussing with his hair and tried to pop his collar on his jacket ?? Like what ??? I know popping collars was a thing a thousand years ago, but on a suit jacket? Lisa SIT DOWN !!! And micro managing and barking orders at the poor kid while the photographer is taking photos? John, stop being such a pussy and nicely tell her to shut the fuck up and step aside. (in a nice way of course.) I think she thinks this is cute, but it’s really not.
Door bell rings, yes it’s a date. Thank God, I was going to feel so bad for this kid. He seems so nervous. He literally throws the corsage on the floor when she approaches. Lisa get the fuck out of the way !!! maybe if you weren’t standing there making him so anxious, he could have attached the corsage to her wrist and wouldn’t be so frantic ? And then there’s little Henry making “little brother” embarrassing comments too. I have a sister who is seven years younger than me, so I also had this experience when I was trying to be a super cool teenager, but I think it’s different for a dude. There’s more pressure on them to be cool.
Also, I am the type of person (it IS a thing, there should be an official name for it, and possibly a support group) that can’t do ANYTHING or think straight, or function, when someone is standing there watching over me !!! Plus keep in mind, there were the Bravo cameras.
And why oh why is Lisa IN this prom pic with his date ?? I could see a pic of him with his parents, but mom with his date ?? is this normal ? These poor kids. Please let this be over soon, and send them on their way to enjoy their prom without LISA THE UNAWARE NARC BARLOW.
Even wearing this cut out body suit thing, as if she’s trying to look hotter than the teenager going to her prom! Guess since her prom sucked, she’s trying to ruin it for this girl??? i hope the rest of the night got better after they got away from this freaking lunatic.
Heather and Whitney meeting for gift bag stuffing for her rebranding event. She must really want a glass of wine, because she tells Whitney she looks like she needs one. She is giving Whitney lots of props and encouragement, which is nice, on her new (“rebranding”) business venture. For some reason, from what I see of Heather and her business, I take Heather’s business a lot more seriously than Whitney’s skin care line.
Again or still, Whitney is talking about using all of their savings, or half, or whatever, AKA Justin’s money, for this “re branding.” And I might get haters on that, I know they’re married. I can just hear it now (“IT’S THEIR MONEY !!!!” rahhhhhhh… ) – however Justin is much older, and was well established before he married Whitney (wasn’t he her boss?) so… that’s what prompts me to say that. And what’s with this “rebranding” anyway ?? My best guess would be that she wasn’t making a ton of sales, so this rebranding/name change to Wild Rose Beauty (previously Iris and Beau) is an effort to generate more business? She did say in a past episode, that she has “bad skin” (I’m guessing that meant break-outs, I can relate, so that was her inspiration to start a skin care line possibly? ) I did check out her website, and I see immediately it’s very pricey. The product sizes are very very small. I didn’t really see anything for acne or blemishes. When I clicked on the “blemishes” selection, it just pulled up two anti-aging and wrinkle products?
There is a 5 product “daily routine” that is $199, which is sold out. A basic cleanser is only in a 4oz bottle, and it’s $29.00, same with the toner. A hyaluronic serum is $49.00 for 1 oz. Well you can look for yourself, if you’re so inclined. I might actually order something and let you all know. I may have to sell a kidney, but it’s “research” right ?
Here also is a Bravo link where she explains more about the change and also a make-up free photo of Whitney showing a lot of redness, blemishes and oily skin. But again, nothing on the website seems to address acne or blemishes. Perhaps the ingredients in her basic skin care cleansers and washes would help to eliminate blemishes, she’s saying ? I clicked on ‘age spots/discoloration’ on her site, and that came up “did not yield any results.” So long story short, I’m not finding myself overly impressed in my quick scan of her skin care line and website. It seems to be the basic, popular ingredients you can find made by Neutrogena or L’oreal (vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic Acid) in the drug stores for much lower cost.) But maybe there IS something special about it??? If anyone has tried anything, or has a recommendation, drop me an email or message and let me know your thoughts.

I also looked into “rebranding” because I honestly wasn’t sure if the was merely just a name and logo change, or change of products, or what, (the only thing I was clear on, is that she “spent half of her family’s savings on this RE Brand !!”) and someone who knows about this sort of thing says it’s often a marketing gimmick. He sent me this link. It’s interesting. I’m sure a lot of you will recognize these businesses who have done rebranding, (Coty, AirBNB, HP) and were successful. I’m just not sure how much research was done by Whitney for her rebranding and/or name change. Heather did say on WWHL she is very business savvy, but she’s so “hot” people don’t think she’s smart. but I don’t know… We will see next season if Justin has divorced her or not, how successful the line is. Or maybe if it’s really successful, she divorces Justin ??

Whitney thinks that Mary told the feds that Jen was involved in all of this sketchy shit, due to all of the marrying your granddaddy bashing etc that she was doing, to get back at Jen.
What actually has been occurring to me is – does anyone ever think that Bravo is involved with all of these tip-offs to the authorities ?
And for this one to happen DURING filming??? Just putting that out there.
Theresa and Joe, Tom (and Erica), Girardi , Jen Shah, Sweet James … ??? Now even Whitney’s husband, Justin’s company is involved in shady shit too? Coincidental ? Or does everyone that is self-employed lie, not pay taxes, and rip people off ?
Jen meets with her mom who she says believes in her … and thinks she’s innocent. They are making “hygeine packs” for a national something society. I listened to it like three times and still don’t know what the hell she said. Maybe it’s a made up thing. I feel like this is some ‘fluff’ that she says is to make her feel better, but it’s to make her ‘look’ better to the viewers perhaps? Is she sending some to the people that she ripped off ? She’s bitching about having to spend her stolen funds to pay her attorneys. Also this bit about not taking money from ‘property or deeds’ – do they own investments properties? Because she did disclose in the beginning of the season, that they rent this home, and rented their previous home. Does she think the viewers are stupid just because we watch Housewives? Perhaps some are, or have no memory of her past filmed comments? Jen girl, when you don’t OWN real estate, there is no money to take from “deeds” or real estate. Are you going to call up your landlord and see if you can borrow some of their equity ?
She goes on this thing about downsizing the house affects the whole extended family. Really ? THAT’S her concern ? With all of the people she ‘allegedly” stole money from — she’s worried about not being able to provide a huge lavish home (that she’s renting) to have parties and entertain her family? Jen’s mom is relinquishing all of her retirement funds to defend Jen ? This was filmed before the “assistant (that she claimed isn’t really her assistant, that she barely knows, has plead guilty and admits he knew what he was doing for her wasn’t right) Wonder what Mom is thinking now?
Event Time – Whitney’s Rebranding/Renaming/Excuse to wear a very expensive dress/Re-whatever party.
Seth notices the brand of shoes that Mary is wearing – anyone else thinking of “Legally Blonde” when the pool boy notices Elle’s brand of shoes at the water fountain ?? And they’re even Prada, just like the movie! Was he doing this on purpose ? (I honestly think that rationale for realizing his gayness would NOT fly today. ) But all kidding aside, I would think it’s weird if a straight dude commented and noticed the desisgsner brand of shoes, that I was wearing.
What is with all of these parties across all of the HW franchises where everyone has to be dressed in a certain color ?? this seems to be an across the board thing lately on all of them ? Neutral and blush tones ?? Like why ? Meredith didn’t follow the rules, I wouldn’t call lavender a neutral nor blush tone.
And don’t even get me started on the feathers. I know it’s an “in” look right now, and I’m not totally opposed to feathers, but it’s way too much. She looks like purple Big Bird. Doesn’t help that she’s tall, and wearing 5 inch heels.
Maybe the reason for the color dress code , is that Whitney is wearing bright red and wanted to stand apart.
Seems very strange to me. As long as everyone is dressed up, who cares what color they are wearing.
(As long as not too much black of course.)
Mary has arrived ! Oh joy !!! And is sounding like a grouchy old lady !! And is immediately BITCHING about no one “taking her coat” and has deemed this the worst event she has ever attended, due to this. I mean I guess —- this is Utah, although Spring – there should have been someone, if not taking coats, directing where they could be placed ??? I do like her coat though. I wouldn’t have paired it with that dress. But I like both. But she’s really cranky. what a shock.
Don’t worry, I will be doing Hot or Not for this event also. I know you’re probably not worried.
Jen brings all of the ladies to a side room to address the slanted eyes comment. Mary looks a little nervous … I don’t think her comment was “beautiful” slanted/slanty eyes, just ‘slanty eyes.’
Meredith’s feedback is that it’s “not necessarily offensive to all, I just wouldn’t say it … ” Now if Jen, for instance would have said something like that, oh boy… we know how that would have gone over. Making a racially offensive comment is as bad as making an offensive sexual orientation comment. So Meredith is being kind of hypocritical. Other housewives make fun of her in their interviews, that she should have just admitted that it was insulting.
Jennie also addresses that it’s an insult to re-gift an item – or gift an item that was originally meant for someone else.
Apparently the sparkly camo boots were meant for Jen. That is a faux pas, which I thought was common knowledge. I remember my cousin one time told me, (and she and her husband are known tightwads, so I wasn’t surprised) that she has a “regifting section” in her house ? That sort of made me chuckle (like why would you tell someone that?) and also confirmed my suspicion that she must have done this with a Tiffany’s vase that I got her for a wedding gift, because I had never seen it in her house when I visited. Wanted to get that off my chest. And also make the point that it IS tacky!!
And when you do it, (or just don’t do it !!) you’re not supposed to like tell the recipient ? (“they were already boughten” Mary said. ) — (guess these three ladies all happen to wear the same size??)
Mary makes an interview comment that in America referencing Asian ‘slanty’ eyes is a compliment ? I don’t know what America she’s living in, where it’s okay to say that to a person of Asian descent ? But it’s not. Mary’s —- strange.
Jennie then says – ‘on top of the icing, you left the receipt in the bag’…. (on top of the icing – not the icing on the cake …) these housewives get their phrases wrong so much on ALL of the shows— Ramona on RHONY is a big offender.
Close Jennie – but no cigarette !! (haha get it?)
(Also I think the receipt was left on purpose)
Mary admits she got the boots for herself — but they hurt her feet. So that means she did actually wear them. You have to have shoes on and walk around in them a little, to come to the conclusion that they hurt your feet.
Am I really watching this ? These poor designer boots are probably feeling so offended getting passed down the line, like two hot Louis Vuitton potatoes… I wonder if these are still available. If so, they could probably increase the price like double for people who are seeing them on the show and want them. (maybe order half size up – usually when shoes/boots hurt your feet, they’re too small) I would definitely wear them. So Jen, let me know if they don’t work out for you. Come to think of it, she’s probably already sold them on ebay.
So Jen snaps them suckers right up when it was disclosed they were meant for her. After Mary and Jennie both discarded them of course.
She’s not gonna be passin up no red bottoms she says !!
Mary then gets called out on the ‘Mexican thug’ comment in reference to Jen’s arrest.
AFTER she accepts and gushes over the boots. AWKWARD.
Mary tries to defend this ‘Mexican thug’ comment and/or doesn’t really remember. (can you really do both?) And isn’t this such a CONVENIENT excuse when someone says something shitty to you – to say you don’t remember ?? it sucks in REAL LIFE because there are no cameras on you – on Bravo Reality, maybe just “OWN IT” to save yourself further embarrassment. Because it’s like filmed. That’s the weird guys lurking and following you around carrying these devices called cameras.
Meredith says she can’t be friends with Jennie because she’s just not feeling it… I’m paraphrasing. It’s the same thing she has said fourteen times and we get it. Hey, does anyone NOT get it ?
Mary storms off. (Meredith chases her) I think it was smart for Mary to leave the group. This was a lot of ganging up on her. It’s not cool to gang up on people. Even if they are wrong. One person at a time needs to voice concerns to another person, in my opinion. I know this is the housewife way, and it’s more popular and dramatic, but it’s not cool. Even if most were valid points. The bottom line is Mary is very bitter about her life, has no class nor common every day manners, (money can’t buy you class… but it CAN buy you ill-fitting Louie Vuitton boots) says shitty stuff, she doesn’t care, she doesn’t apologize. She sort of, kind of, not really apologized to Jenny for the offensive comment. Sounded like the sort of kind of not really apologies I used to get from someone.
Jennie says ‘birds of a feather flocks together’ — in reference to Meredith chasing Mary. At least she got this one right, but I don’t even think she realized what a great pun that is, given Meredith was in head to toe feathers? I don’t think she even realized it, if she did, that would be the icing on the icing !
Mary is leaving, she says. Poor thing didn’t even get a drink?? She came in, bitched about no coat check, (guess she found where to stick it, since it suddenly did disappear) then got summoned to a side room, called out on two racist remarks, got a re-gift gift returned, then re- re gifted to another, got pissed off leaves, but of course doesn’t REALLY leave…
Lisa to Mary – “are we friends??? are you my friend ???” Mary calls her two faced. She denies the Mexican thug statement. She says she MAY have said it due to the current events in the news, (glad to hear Mary is paying attention to the news…) and Jen’s mask and the braids and her (beautiful) fur coat, may have prompted her to make this comparison ? (she does realize that Jen isn’t Mexican right?) And is this defense really helping or making her sound more racist ? If you ask me, not helping Mary, not helping.
Whitney is trying to give a toast while Mary and Lisa continue to argue.
Whitney is done with the toast and they still continue to argue.
Next week’s preview – Jen starts her infamous ‘Jen screaming’ …
